When I was working 60 hour weeks, I was spending:
30 hours recruiting
20 hours managing
10 hours on meetings
It’s exciting to learn how multi-dimensional I can make my life now that I’m letting Gumroad grow at its natural pace.
It’s also scary. I was always productive, always surrounded by great people, always had to show up, knew what I wanted out of my life.
Now I have to figure all of that stuff out again.
(Gumroad is growing faster now than it was back then)
